Freescale VF6xx SoC possesses a heterogeneous/asymmetrical multi-core architecture. The 2 cores – ARM Cortex-A5 and ARM Cortex-M4 – will at the same time run completely different operating systems. This SoC architecture is absolute for applications with numerous real time and mixed-criticality needs during which the ARM Cortex-A5 runs a standard OS like Linux supporting UI and high output needs whereas the ARM Cortex-M4 runs a RTOS for real-time tasks.
